Defamation & Privacy

Libel, slander and malicious falsehood – once seen as the concern of the mighty are increasingly causes for concern for more and more people. In today’s new media age, where the lines between fact and opinion blur, the reputations of individuals, businesses and organisations matter more than ever before. Competitors, business rivals, disgruntled employees, spurned lovers and anonymous web users all too often resort to making defamatory statements that damage reputations.

Despite the relative ease of securing redress through the courts (and in particular by using the Defamation Act 1996), too many victims will suffer in silence. Griffin Law can help, thanks to the firm’s expertise in representing victims of defamation as well as those accused of making defamatory statements. While litigation is, of course, rarely a cheap option, Griffin Law has experience acting for litigants to identify a strategy for a quick settlement where it is possible.
